Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.White: 2000 Nepenthe Sauvignon Blanc, £8.99, Safeway, Oddbins, Waitrose (limited stocks)
This cracking sauvignon blanc from one of the year's big discoveries, Nepenthe in Adelaide Hills, South Australia, is bracingly crisp and assertively aromatic. Zesty tropical fruit flavours and a green-apple snap add verve to its refreshingly dry aftertaste. Powerful enough to stand up to salads and white fish marinades.
Red: 2000 Le Catalan Old Vine Carignan, £5.99, Sainsbury's
Proving that there's life in the old workhorse carignan vine yet, this is a deep-hued and characterful Mediterranean vin de pays red with garrigue scents of angostura and spice and the peppery, robust flavours that come from real old-vine concentration and richness. One for an Indian summer barbecue.
